The Slender Man began as two photographs and a caption, submitted to an internet forum in 2009 as nothing more than a creepy image contest. Within five years, people across the country were treating him as real – and some proved just how far that belief could go.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/SlendermanREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/2p8ka2reFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: In 2009, a photograph appeared on an internet forum, submitted as an entry in a contest to create convincing fake paranormal images. The figure in it had no face, arms too long for its body, and a caption written like a piece of found history. Within a few years, that figure had a name recognized across the internet, a following that treated the images as more than fiction, and a reputation for turning up in places far stranger than a photo contest ever intended.CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = The Foreboding00:02:02.673 = Show Open00:03:13.025 = Slenderman: Blurring The Lines of Reality, Part 100:09:24.860 = Slenderman: Blurring The Lines of Reality, Part 2 ***00:22:48.484 = Slenderman: Blurring The Lines of Reality, Part 3 ***00:34:59.166 = Slenderman: Blurring The Lines of Reality, Part 4 ***00:41:57.606 = Slenderman: Blurring The Lines of Reality, Part 5 ***00:54:09.889 = Show Close*** = Begins immediately after inserted ad breakLISTEN ON PODCAST APPS: Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: March, 2022This episode of Weird Darkness traces the Slender Man from an internet photo contest into real-world stabbings, arson, and a wave of suicides on a South Dakota reservation, then weighs whether an invented internet legend can, in some sense, become real.It opens with the character's exact origin: on June 10th, 2009, Eric Knudsen, posting under the name Victor Surge on the forum Something Awful, submitted two doctored photographs as part of a contest to create convincing paranormal images. Each carried a caption inventing a backstory, one referencing a photographer "presumed dead" in 1983 and another tying the figure to a fire at the Stirling City Library and the disappearance of a photographer named Mary Thomas in 1986. The figure in both images, faceless and unnaturally tall with elongated arms, spread across the internet within days and took on the name Slender Man, along with a folklore of his own: a preference for woods and abandoned buildings, the ability to travel at will, and warning signs that included nosebleeds, nightmares, and sudden paranoia.From there, the episode turns to the Waukesha stabbing of May 31st, 2014, in Wisconsin, when twelve-year-old Anissa Weier and Morgan Geyser led their friend Payton Leutner into nearby woods and stabbed her nineteen times, telling investigators the attack was meant to prove Slender Man's existence and make them his "proxies." Leutner survived and crawled to a roadside where a cyclist found her. Geyser was sentenced to forty years to life and remains held in a psychiatric facility; Weier, sentenced to twenty-five years to life, was released from institutional care in the summer of 2021 and placed under supervision.Next, the episode covers the string of incidents that followed within months: a thirteen-year-old girl's knife attack on her mother in Hamilton County, Ohio, in June 2014; a Las Vegas shooting in which the gunman, who reportedly dressed as Slender Man, killed two police officers and a bystander before killing his wife and himself; and a house fire set by a fourteen-year-old girl in Port Richey, Florida, in September 2014, who told police she had "been reading a lot" about the character online. It also details a separate wave of youth suicides on South Dakota's Pine Ridge Reservation between late 2014 and mid-2015, which the New York Times reported topped one hundred in six months, some tied by officials to the Slender Man and to a local legend of a "suicide spirit" known as Walking Sam or the Tall Man, and a mass hanging attempt in nearby woods that a local pastor, John Two Bulls, intervened to stop.The episode also relays an account researcher Nick Redfern collected from a Pennsylvania flight attendant trainee named Lacy, who said her laptop began displaying Slender Man's face and, on one occasion, a voice, after she read Robin Swope's book Slenderman: From Fiction to Fact in 2016.The episode closes by comparing Slender Man to Spring-Heeled Jack, a figure reported across Victorian England from the 1830s onward and long suspected of being one person's stunt copied by others in later decades, before turning to researcher Peter McCue's Psychic Internet Theory and the ancient Egyptian god Ptah, weighing whether shared belief circulated across the internet might account for why so many people came to treat a fictional character as something they could encounter.

Josh Mankiewicz sits down with Blayne Alexander to discuss her episode, “The Mushroom Mystery.” In April 2020, the body of beloved cyclist David Fouts was found in a ditch in Hamilton County, Indiana. The autopsy was inconclusive, but did reveal David had consumed toxic mushrooms, just not the lethal kind. Detectives pieced together a case against David's widow, Katrina Fouts, accusing her of devising an elaborate plot to kill her husband with the help of her friend, retired police officer Terry Hopkins. The two were charged with murder and conspiracy to commit murder. While awaiting trial, Terry told investigators he'd strangled David. He died a few months later. In 2022, a jury acquitted Katrina of murder but found her guilty on the conspiracy charge. Blayne shares a podcast-exclusive clip from her interview with Terry's ex-wife. Plus, Blayne and Josh swap stories from their time starting out as local news reporters, and answer your questions from social media. Have a question for Talking Dateline?

Brandon Lewis Endorses Derek Greene Over David Queen For Republican State Executive CommitteemanHAMILTON COUNTY, Tenn. — Tennessee Conservative News Publisher Brandon Lewis has publicly endorsed Derek Greene in the race for Republican State Executive Committeeman representing Tennessee Senate District 11, citing what he describes as significant differences between Greene and incumbent David Queen on key Republican Party issues and participation in party affairs.Lewis announced his endorsement while defending campaign signs that ask the question, "David Queen Votes Liberal?" According to Lewis, criticism surrounding the signs has focused attention on the campaign's messaging rather than Queen's record.Lewis argued that Republican primary voters deserve to know where candidates stand on issues affecting the party.Among the concerns Lewis raised was Queen's decision not to support a resolution favoring legislation that would prevent Democrats from voting in Republican primary elections. Lewis characterized Queen's position as effectively opposing the measure and said the two had previously discussed the issue at length following a Chattanooga Republican Women event.According to Lewis, Queen defended allowing Democrats to participate in Republican primaries, arguing that the practice had benefited Republicans by helping the party gain legislative majorities. Lewis said while Queen is entitled to hold that view, Republican voters should be informed of it before casting their ballots.Lewis also criticized Queen for declining to support a Hamilton County Republican Party resolution backing State Sen. Bo Watson's efforts to end taxpayer-funded education for illegal immigrants. Lewis described the issue as one that aligns with the priorities of many Republican primary voters and questioned whether Queen's positions accurately reflect the voters he represents.In addition to policy disagreements, Lewis raised concerns about Queen's attendance record as a State Executive Committeeman. Lewis claimed Queen attended only about half of the meetings he was expected to attend and argued that regular participation is a fundamental responsibility of the office because SEC members serve as liaisons between local Republican organizations and the state party."You cannot represent people when you do not show up," Lewis said, adding that absenteeism is as concerning as disagreements over policy positions.Lewis rejected criticism that the campaign signs constitute "dirty politics," arguing that discussing a candidate's voting record and attendance is a legitimate part of informing Republican voters.Lewis stated that he personally paid for the signs as an in-kind contribution supporting Greene's campaign.While acknowledging that he has known Greene for years and attends church with him, Lewis said his endorsement is based on Greene's leadership qualities rather than personal friendship.According to Lewis, Greene possesses the "courage and backbone" needed to hold Republican elected officials accountable, defend the party platform, and challenge lawmakers when they depart from conservative principles.Lewis concluded by encouraging Republican voters throughout Senate District 11 to support Greene in the State Executive Committeeman race, arguing that the office plays an important role in maintaining accountability within the Republican Party.

Is Fishers a buyer's market or a seller's market? Veteran realtor Laura Turner of F.C. Tucker says it's a bit of both — and that Hamilton County is really three separate markets right now. Turner, one of the top-producing agents in the Indianapolis metro area, returns to the podcast to break down what's happening in local real estate: why higher-priced homes are flying while the $400K–$600K range faces stiff competition from new construction, how baby boomers staying put are fueling the inventory crunch, and what the new federal housing bill could mean for multi-family building. She also shares practical advice for today's buyers and sellers — from assumable mortgages and builder rate buy-downs to a savings strategy for first-time buyers facing a median price above $400,000 — plus her take on the overturned rental ordinances in Fishers and Carmel, and a 12-month forecast for the local market. Whether you're buying, selling, or just curious what your home is worth, this conversation is packed with local insight you won't find in national headlines.

The Chatterbox Bearcats crew is back with another offseason episode packed with Cincinnati basketball discussion! The biggest topic of the show is the news that MJ Collins has officially been ruled eligible for the 2026-27 season. What does his addition mean for Cincinnati's starting lineup? Does he immediately become the Bearcats' best player? The crew breaks down why the answer might be yes and what Collins brings to Wes Miller's roster. With Collins now officially in the fold, is the Bearcats' roster complete? The guys discuss whether Cincinnati has all the pieces needed to compete in the Big 12 and what expectations should be entering the season. The crew also reacts to one of the more unique events in college basketball as Cincinnati and Ohio State prepare to face off on a tennis court in a special outdoor showcase. They share their thoughts on the creative venue and what it could mean for the rivalry. Later in the show, the conversation shifts to the growing trend of jersey patch sponsorships in college athletics. Are the extra dollars worth changing the look of the uniforms? The panel debates the pros and cons, with Eric Lilly defending the idea while the rest of the crew isn't sold.

In this episode of the Newsmakers Podcast, PHCC Indiana's Chuck Gillespie (right)  and PHCC Foundation's Dan Quinonez (left) discuss a new re-entry training program at the Hamilton County Jail.

Quinonez and Gillespie also discuss why the trades are well-suited for second-chance opportunities, how the program could help address workforce shortages, and what success might look like as the initiative grows.

We talk with the prosecutor and the new director.

Ohio Republicans redrew the 1st Congressional District to make it harder for a Democrat to hold, and now one of the most watched U.S. House races in the state is set: two-term incumbent Greg Landsman against Trump-endorsed newcomer Eric Conroy. In this solo episode of Purple Political Breakdown Ohio Edition, host Radell Lewis breaks down who these two men actually are and what their platforms would mean for the people of Ohio's 1st. On Landsman: the former public school teacher and Cincinnati councilman who flipped the seat in 2022, his anti-establishment economic populism and the ten-bill "Pledge to America" from his November 2025 manifesto The Great American Comeback, signature bills like the No Harm Data Centers Act and his push to stop an AI-driven Medicare prior-authorization program, and the Gaza and stock-disclosure criticisms he will have to answer. On Conroy: the Air Force and CIA veteran running on border security, energy independence, and a Trump-aligned agenda, where he lands on national defense, public safety, Social Security, veterans, and crypto, and the open question of whether a first-time candidate is more MAGA-aligned than this district really is. Plus Statehouse Watch: Governor DeWine's pause on Ohio's runaway data-center sales-tax exemption (a 1.6 billion dollar hit in 2025, eleven times the original estimate), the Ohio Supreme Court ruling that makes public records harder to pry loose from Attorney General Dave Yost's office, and the court vacating the permit for the 6,000 acre Oak Run Solar project. County of the Week is Hamilton County, anchored by Cincinnati and Mayor Aftab Pureval, who once ran for this very seat.

Ep. 60 - Hamilton County Judge Tori Smith by Scout On, Chattanooga: The Podcast

Former NFL linebacker Darron Lee is now at the center of a shocking murder investigation, and prosecutors say ChatGPT conversations may be part of the evidence. During a preliminary hearing in Hamilton County, Tennessee, investigators revealed messages allegedly recovered from Lee's phone that show him asking a chatbot questions before calling 911 about his girlfriend Gabriella Perpétuo. In court, prosecutors said Lee described injuries and asked questions including "what do I do?", while also asking whether certain wounds could match an accidental fall. They argue the messages show Lee using ChatGPT to help shape an explanation for what happened. In this video we break down: • The timeline of events leading up to the 911 call • The ChatGPT prompts prosecutors presented in court • The reported responses from the chatbot • The crime scene evidence described by investigators • What happens next as the case moves toward a grand jury #DarronLee #ChatGPT #TrueCrime #NFL #CrimeNews
